About the Item

If Thomas Geyer could preserve the moment of beauty, of wonder, in a jar, he would. Instead, he rummages through his memories of aesthetic gazes and moments of longing and transforms them into atmospheric paintings. As a symbiosis between subjective perception and artistic post- correction, Geyer himself is the yardstick, the interface between real experience and momentary sensation. On his excursions into nature, he settles where he himself feels most at home. Usually, this is at harmonious meeting points of human life and scenic wilderness that reflect Geyer's personal habitat between city and country: an overgrown backyard, a lake with a boarding ladder, peaked houses jutting out from behind dunes. With natural colours that glow from within themselves, such as night blue, forest green and evening red-pink, the artist directs all his attention to the narrative potential that he has discovered for himself in this moment. Combined with matte nuances and light reflections, the result is a seemingly random interplay of shadows, occasionally mirroring in the blue-green lake water, and other times settling as a moonlit glimmer on the white sandy beach. When Thomas Geyer longs back to those balmy summer evenings, sea breezes or springtime feelings in the studio, he brings out the preserved impressions, the light, the smells and sounds and spreads them out on the canvases. Light spot by light spot, canopy by canopy, he digs back into their narrative atmospheres and begins to unfold their stories anew. In his narratives, he reveals just enough to make us feel at home in his settings - and yet leaves room for individual secrets. In this way, the artist not only grants us entry into his refuges, but opens them up as settings in which our own memories may take place. It is the intensity of the moment, the absolute beauty and emotion that made Geyer a painter. But there is also a seriousness in the artist's longing, an impending doom that accompanies us all - the loss of a habitat of which we ourselves are a component. And it is important to feel the gaps, says Thomas Geyer. Without them, there would be no desire, no sense of transience, no appreciation for wonder, for all the fleeting things he wants to preserve as a painter. And when the artist sets off again from his studio to be found by his motifs with a wandering eye, he always has a jar with him to later share his intense experience with us.

One Of The Ways
Located in San Diego, CA
"One Of The Ways" depicts a densely populated grove. As with other of Carpenter's paintings, this scene invites viewers to look closer and also to go out to explore nature. As a painter, I examine how the depiction of light contributes to our experience of paintings. The portrayal of light helps a painting to convey the atmosphere and mood of a scene, and is much of what enables a painting to convey depth and realism. Our perception of lighting features occurs largely through pathways in the brain that carry only black and white information, pathways which are distinct from areas that encode the colors and details we use to delineate specific objects. By painting in grayscale, I try to interact specifically with this region of our visual system, with the hope of conveying some of the spaciousness and emotional significance that light can imbue on scenes. Light, whether as the crisp contrast of a back-lit forest or the gray haze of an industrial landscape, is what defines a scene. Its power to communicate the feel of a place is the principle subject of my paintings. The Blue Azul Collection...
